Astronomy News Wanted (1Jun94)
(from the Director's Office, NOAO Newsletter No. 38, 1 June 1994)

The National Science Foundation's public affairs officer for astronomy,
Lynn Simarski, is seeking astronomy news items to send out to the media
as possible story ideas.  NSF regularly issues news releases and
shorter "news tip" items (about one-two paragraphs long) on results of
NSF-funded research.  NSF works closely with the public affairs
officers of the grantees' own institutions to coordinate the timing of
news announcements, and to expand media coverage of research findings.
Since a result often becomes "news" as it is published in a journal or
announced at a meeting, public affairs officers need to be informed
beforehand to time news releases properly.  NSF needs your help to
spread the excitement of astronomy to the widest audience possible.
Please send a brief description of possible news items to:  Lynn
Simarski (lsimarsk@nsf.gov), or call (703) 306-1070.
